PF Chang Bistro--Knoxville

What a beautiful PF Chang's Bistro in Knoxville

I have not been to PF Chang for years. The last recollection was over three years ago. It was, in one word, miserable. No need to resurrect that horrible night. Restaurants change, management change and waitstaff change. Today's visit changed everything. Miss M convinced me that we should retry PF Chang.

We were greeted promptly by the manager who assisted in getting us to our table. A nice, comfortable booth and a great view of the dining room and the cocktail lounge. So far...so good. Our server was quick to greet Miss M and myself. Drinks were promptly served and we scoured over the menu. The Menu was the same at the evening menu...and some of the entrees were a little on the pricey side. I am not used to Asian food being in the 15 dollar range for lunch. After a closer look, I found the Lunch Bowl offerings. These were in the 7.75 to 9.95 and included soup. Now we are in my lunchtime price range.

The Server arrived at our table with the obligatory PF Chang's Sauce Tray. Mixed up a mild batch that we had to fortify with more hot chili sauce!

And we couldn't proceed without The Spring Roll...very crisp, hot and served with the hot mustard and plum sauce.
